I like KOTOR, also I was looking through my PS2 JRPG collection and I found a copy of Grandia 3 unopened is that game hard to get now new.

Supabul

The cheapest that I can see new are around $50.

Not that rare is it

Well it will increase, the price has obviously gone up.

This would be my top 5:

  1. Final Fantasy IX.
  2. Shining Force
  3. Persona 3
  4. Persona 4
  5. KOTOR

I am playing Deus Ex right now but I guess it could count as an rpg.

This question shouldn't even be asked... there's just too many...

but personally I've played FF3 (6 in JP) and CT so much... I'll have to go with those two.

Also depends on the mood I'm in.. time of year... really, too many great RPGs its not even funny.

Sometimes I'll feel like more open ended = better and go with something like KOTOR or Fallout other times it'll be the unconventional JRPG like Persona 3 and 4 or Digital Devil Saga. When I'm feeling nostalgic I'll say it's either CT or FF3. When I feel like life is unfair and s lot of games go underappreciated I'll say Skies of Arcadia is the best... and so on...

Really depends on the mood I'm in

So what do you guys believe is the best RPG ever made? Personally I'd have to go with Chrono Trigger, easily my favourite and personally I believeis the greatest one ever made.

What say you SW?

Dues Ex THREAD!!!

deus ex is, without exception, the best game i have ever played. but as an RPG...its very good...but not BG2 good imho. DE is a bit weird in my book. its not the best FPS, nor the ebst RPG nor is it the best stealth game. imho what makes it the best game ever is the way it gells all these genres together extremely well...making it the complete package. its not the best at any one thing/genre...instead it does loads of things very very well and that makes it the best game ever. imho anyway.

This is not a good poll for best RPG ever. FFVIII? FFIII? Even if it was by accident and he really meant to include FFVII and FFVI. . .that still doesn't improve the poll much. Why isn't Planescape: Torment on this poll? No TES or Fallout game? About the only game on the list that even deserves to be there is Chrono Trigger. I voted Other.

Not a very good list.

- Baldurs Gate 1/2 (PC version not the spin offs on console)

- Elderscrolls Daggerfall

- Planscape Torment

- Diablo2

- Ultima series (PC)

- WIzardry series (PC)

- FF7

- KOTOR

- Ultima Online

- Earthbound

- Chrono Trigger

- Fallout1 and Fallout2

- The Witcher

- Secret Of Mana

- Eye Of The Beholder (PC)

Some of the best rpgs right there imo

Dues Ex THREAD!!!

You summed it up very good. I said this becuase it is the best game ever made. And being it had strong rpg elements that paved the way for games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect and even Dragon Age. Meaning with the stroy question tree when talking with story characters. But yeah Dues Ex is a legend. Sadly there is a ton of gamers out there who have not played it. Dues Ex 3 is the one and only game that will once again make me build another gaming PC just like I had to do with Half Life 2. From what I hear they are going back to it's PC roots and making it exclusive for PC once again. I have hopes that Deus Ex 3 will once again be the best game ever all over again. Just hearing the iconic music towards the end of this video gives me chills. It has a chance for redemption and to go back to be the greatest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoteS17NnGE

You would not even have these games the way they are with the story questions trees if not for Warren Spector and Dues Ex that paved the way for this type of game play. Dues Ex is the true legend. Go play it on PC if you want to know who the king is.

weirdly enough as soon as i saw the title of this thread i clicked it thinking id see a list without chrono trigger and was gonna say "chrono trigger deserves a mention" ,props on the good choices! chrono trigger , ff 2,4,6,7,8,9,10 oblivion ,grandia ,morrowind,kh,KOTOR, Jade empire(beleive it or not i actually preffered jade empire to kotor, i loved this game so much for some reason, the plot twist was excellent and genuinly quite shocking,of course i cant really judge as i never finished kotor,i just dont have the time!)

From what I have heard they have canceled the home system version because they are not powerful enough for what they want to do with DE3. So for now it seems it is PC only. If this is true then this is great news even if I got to drop a $grand to build me a new PC to play it becuase if they go back to being great like DE1 then man oh man I'll be sh*ting myself

I have a few. I really liked Ultima IV for its time - very solid game. Baldur's Gate 2 was my favorite rpg of last gen, though Planescape Torment was a close second. So far Mass Effect 2 has been for this gen.

Curse of the Azure Bonds (and all Gold Box), Star Control II, Fallout 1-3 come to mind but definitely not any JRPGs imo...

*EDIT* Ultima IV on my C64 ...good times.

Well if the Mass Effect trilogy counts as one game, Ill take that.

If not, ummm, Chrono Cross. But "best" is simply an opinion, and consensus is nearly impossible.

Personally, 'The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion', but I probably haven't experienced RPG's to the same extent as most people on System Wars. I'm looking forward to playing 'Demon's Souls' (if that is considered an RPG rather than an action/adventure game) and 'Mass Effect 2' though, so that might make me change my mind :)

Final Fantasy VI (III US) - The only Final Fantasy that truly matters Chrono Trigger - The most evolved JRPG Mass Effect 2 - lives up to the hype Baldurs Gate II - one of the best of the Infinity era Fallout 1+2 - highly influential games

I think the best RPG made is the Kotor series. Some glitches but the story was excellent and kept me playing. I would love a Kotor 3. I really enjoyed the Mass Effect games and I am looking forward to FF13 on PS3.
